Mysterious connector behind front bumper...

Front bumper seemed off-center (more towards passenger side)...so I pulled it.

I found the following connector hanging there, not connected to anything.

I have that too! I'm wondering if it's just a leftover connector. I've found them over the years.

That is part of the A/C sub harness. Plug R2, Blue and White-Black wires, connects to the A/C Condenser fan resistor, located to the left below the V6 emblem.

Now that I'm back at my computer with image things, here is where I am pretty sure it is supposed to connect to, but seems like over time corroded or fell off.

Hey Co 94, is that something that can be just soldered back on there, I don't know it will stick or not

Do you plan on trying to fix it or replace it?

Don't use the AC much..replacing the resistor has been added to the list

Yeah if you can find anything to reattach it to. Or just by pass it and connect them together, turns the low speed on the fan to the same as the high speed.

Relay #2 turns the fan on, relay #1 bypasses that resistor.

Can't locate it(resistor) in the parts lists or diagrams, guess they don't wanna play today

Maybe this one 0.68 OHM 50W but I suck at power calculations U = R X I, 5.44 = 0.68 x 8. P = V X I, 43.52 = 5.44 x 8. Seems right but like I said

Heads up this is the part number 88635-89107
And here is another thread on it
https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...99-mod-232730/

Dealer cost is like 30-40, so I'll probably go the cheap route
Looks like another good option from co 94, always has great things to say
